I Flashed the MIUI over to my Incredible but, upon doing that my internal memory says that it is full, and i know i have at least 6GB's free. Also when i go to the sd section in system settings under internal memory it shows 0.0TB free and 6.79TB Used, i don't terabytes of memory on my phone, also when i try to add my Google account it just freezes when loading, i don't know what's going on, if anyone could point me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it.
Wipe everything in the mounts and storage menu in recovery and then reinstall your rom.

I've got an issue i'm hoping you guys can help me with.
I've got a stock froyo 2.2 rooted device.
just recently i've been having issues with my apps.
I back up my SD often so i formatted it and reloaded the data.
This helped until the first reboot then i started having issues again.
The device would show internal apps only, sometimes taking up to ten minutes to load the storage apps.
In the market i cannot download/install apps, even the ones on internal
(sometimes taking several minutes to install)
I've attempted to unmount the SD card but it hangs.
t it hangs when i try to use apps2sd, using my phone as a disk drive, checking disk usuage on both internal and storage, etc.
But i have full access when i use file managers and also when i take the card out of my phone and plug it into my computer. I see everything and everything works.
i have also noticed that it reports the internal memory wrong, sometimes it'll be 50mb's sometimes 130 mb's. All within hours of not doing anything.
i made a nand backup so i'm doing that now, maybe i forgot to clear cache or something last time?
any ideas would surely help, in all honesty it sounds like my internal drive is failing and i hope thats not the case.
thank you
i bought a phone, had a stock rom with rom manager installed and no sd card. i flashed the stock rom and it works fine but a little slow, i noticed that when i plug into my computer and select disk drive, it only brings up the sd card and shows the phone but will not allow me to access it. also when i go to settings and then sd & phone storage under internal phone storage the total space and available space says "unavailable" . and under phone storage the total space is around 80MB and the availabe space is like 140MB wich is far lower than my other incredible. so i figured i would use the "format phone storage" and on this phone it is not highlighted so it is not even an option. i bought this to upgrade my girlfriends phone and she is using it but i just want to fix this problem. thanks in advance for any help.
Good morning,
I have inadvertently found myself where my SGH-i747 running Cyanogenmod 4.4.2 nightly, presently 5/27/2014, shows storage as swapped. I.E. When I go to settings/storage I see 6GB external and 16 GB internal. This wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that I'm getting insufficient storage available even though over 10 GB are shown as available. When I go into a file Explorer there are multiple emulated paths with redundant files/folders.
I'm looking for a thread that will show me how to format both internal and external storage followed by a reinstall of the OS. I've looked for days and while I see plenty of instructions where the OS sees the storage properly, I'm not sure it will work in my environment.
Does the fact that my phone has the storage swapped make a difference when doing a full blown format and reinstall?
If I do need to follow a different set of steps because my storage is logically swapped, would you please point me in the right direction?
My end goal is to have the majority of my storage usable. I have very few apps installed, no pictures, etc... Yet I'm constantly getting out of storage errors. If there's a simpler way than to format the whole device, reinstall OS then restore apps and data, please point me to the right post.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
Regards,
Frank

Do you see the same storage swap when you view your device on a computer rather than checking on the device itself? I would suggest you switch to a stable or (even if temporarily) stock ROM to see if there would be any changes. Once you've backed up your data, apps etc, a complete system restore would format your device whilst you can easily format the (external) SD card on your computer. Also check the SD card you are using to be sure it is legit and the listed storage capacity is indeed the actual storage. There have been quite a few complaints about SD cards purchased especially on places like eBay that are listed as one thing but are actually another.
Also idk if this helps but KitKat reads SD cards differently so you might be getting weird values

Hey guys,
[e] Do i have to 'install' the new storage layout?
I'm sure everyone knows that problem, that the internal memory is getting filled by 'other storage'. My HOX shows me that my internal memory (app memory? have german version here) is using 4,75GB 'Other' memory out of the 6,76GB memory. Sure there I have left ~25GB of 'Phone storage' or how it's called in english.
I want back some free space out of that 'other storage' which takes 4,75GB because as soon as it reaches that 6,76GB I cannot install apps anymore. I'm sure you know what my problem is? I took a lot of time now to search for solutions an did a complete root and have installed CWM, ViperX and did factory resets / wipe data, everything.
Is there no way to get back that memory space? File explorer apps only show me that I have free 1,9GB/2GB of max internal memory but It should be 1,9GB/6,76GB?
Thanks for your help.

I recommend go for the new layout
Thanks for the reply, I already changed to the new layout and flashed XenonHD onto the phone. Still some problems there but at least the memory problems are solved.
hi folks,
So i chose the wrong SD card handling (the merged kind?) a while ago and after ejecting the card to set up a bigger one, I realise I now can't access the internal storage on the phone.
installed apps work fine
I can remove apps fine (but not reinstall!)
i can sideload apps fine (oddy!)
I cannot access e.g. photos with gallery apps
file browser apps cant access the internal space at all.
I cannot install anything from the play store, it just shows insuffucient space
apps like twitter crash.
whatsapp works (calls and text), but cant download photos sent, or attach photos.
There is loads of space free (14.65gb used of 32gb internal).
I also have an SD card with loads of space now set as portable storage.
I have the original SD card that was in before, but not in phone (still shows in storage manager).
Any ideas please?! Before i reset the phone and start again!
I have rooted it, but not sure what to fiddle with (the problem started before rooting).
nope? ok i guess i'll be wiping and hoping that fixes it!
moving to another phone for a while...
just to be clear, doing a full reset on the phone while rooted with magisk is ok? (unlocked bl). don't want to brick. android 10 up to date.
thanks, if anyone out there?
alright for the record and anyone else suffering this, i figured it out, and is slightly embarrassingly stupid.
if you set up the sd as combined storage, and still have the sd, put it back in and use the migrate data back to internal option which is hidden in the storage dot top right menu. voila.
then you can eject card, and still access the internal storage.
what you do if you've already wiped the old sd, i've no idea! you're maybe stuffed? hopefully wiping phone would fix it??
don't ever set your sd card as merged, use portable (i knew this, was a mistake).
so anyway, phone working again yay!
